Ask HN: Email Domain reputation – From, MailFrom, Signed-by Which one counts?
After researching this topic, I couldn't find a straight answer and tbh I'm a bit confused now.
To protect the reputation of your root-domain, using a subdomain with a different IP for transactional mails or newsletters seems to be the general advice (best practice).
A different IP makes sense, since a lot of blacklists and mailfilters are IP based.
But what about the following scenarios:
from: Cloudflare noreply@notify.cloudflare.com
Received: from mta-87-158.sparkpostmail.com
mailed-by: spmailtechno.com
Signed by: notify.cloudflare.com

The Glossary from PostMark says "Domain reputation is considered everywhere your domain is used...From,Return-Path,DKIM,links,headers,content..." [0]
Which (sub)domain does really count for the domain reputation of email senders?
